Broiled Ribeye

I grew up eating grilled, medium rare ribeyes. My parents loved to prepare steak meals for our family of 7! So this past weekend when I went home to Nashville (Arkansas, not Tennessee), I ate and ate and ate. My parents love to cook! See where I get it from? Thanks to them for all the delicious food that they always prepare, and thanks to them for sending me home with 2 ribeyes!

They were about 8 and a half ounces each, almost an inch thick. They almost look like a heart if you put them together - reminded me of the year that my husband Jereme bought a package of steaks from Kroger for Valentines Day where they intentionally made the steaks look like a heart for the occasion! I marinated mine in soy sauce, garlic, and pepper for a couple of hours.

Pre-heat the broiler. You do this by opening the oven door, leaving it cracked just a little bit, and on my oven I press "broil" then "start" then "start" again. You leave the door open. The first time my husband told me that you were supposed to leave the door open, I thought he clearly does not know how to cook. Then we built a house in 2007, and I read the manual of our new double ovens. Yes, it said that you leave the door open. My parents never "broiled" so I didn't know! No wonder the broiler would always turn off when I shut the door! So let the broiler heat up for about 5 minutes, then add your steaks onto the top rack closest to the top of the oven.

Ingredients:

2 (8 ounce) ribeyes about 1 inch thick

Soy sauce

Garlic powder

Black pepper

Directions:

Marinate the steak in the soy sauce, garlic, and black pepper for a few hours or overnight.

About Me

Welcome to the Nguyen and Rasico melting pot! His roots are Sicilian, and I'm Vietnamese. We both grew up in Arkansas, but relocated to Portland, Oregon in 2014. We love all kinds of food. It's fun to write about what you love...and I love to cook. So this blogging thing is the perfect platform - it challenges me to cook good food for my family and friends. It's also great to have a place where I can refer back to recipes any time. We love to cook with ingredients from all around the globe. I worked in French, Mediterranean and Italian restaurants while putting myself through college, and it was fascinating to watch the food get cooked. My TV is always on Food Network. If not, my husband always changes the TV from ESPN to Food Network when he leaves the room for me. Then there are all the cookbooks that I pick up at the library. If they're really good, I actually purchase them from Barnes & Noble, the ultimate bookstore that sells Starbucks Caramel Lattes and comes with a children's section! All the food pictures on my blog were taken by myself, unless I note otherwise. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at thanhrasico@gmail.com. Thanks for coming by...
